I believe in doing what I can, crying when I must, laughing when I choose

I am not in any way, shape, or form all right with the death of Alan Rickman.

[edit] Apparently I cope by writing about a film he was in.

I can't fire 2016 because 2015 was so bad that I need a better year, but I would really appreciate with a cease-fire in the sudden deaths of artists and actors I like, admire, and find necessary presences in the world, especially when they are no older than my mother.

Ah right -- OK, 2016 needs to be saved by Amy Pond remembering and then Matt Smith pops up in a tux with a cane and a jaunty top hat. And then everyone dances at the wedding.

INCLUDING ALAN RICKMAN DAMMIT

This. Oh, so very much this. I fired 2015 in September, but for some reason, it wouldn't go away.

This week though? Can we fire this week?

I know I can't ask anyone else not to die for the remainder of the year, because long exposure to folktales has taught me that this would be a horrible idea, but . . . yeah. If we're just frontloading the year with grief, maybe the rest of it will be functional.
